For busy moms what’s your schedule look like?
My kids are 13, 4 yrs and 2 months I’m struggling to find a good pumping schedule I can stick to.

Sounds like your hands are full for sure mama! I aim for roughly every four hours! When I wake up and right before I go to bed, I pump with my wall pump and throughout the day I’m pumping with my Air 1s! Once my baby started sleeping through the night, I eliminated the middle of the night pump and with the wearable pumps, I’ve got more freedom to move around and get stuff done! Good luck to you, you’ve got this!

If you are exclusively pumping, a 2 month old would eat every 2 hours. So you would want to pump every 2 hours. It’s a lot of pumping. There is the fridge hack though….when your done pumping, put your pumps(minus the motor) into a large ziploc bag and put them in the fridge in between pumping sessions so you don’t have to wash them every time. Then just wash them at the end of the day before you go to bed
My daughter eats about every 4 hours at 2 months. And we exclusively pump I try to only latch if I have to at night
I have I think 4 pumps that are wearable and one stationary and I’m still struggling. Like I’ll say I need to pump but I have a million things going on and I never end up doing it.
Yes I have 3 kids too. Are you nursing too or exclusively pumping. I nurse and pump. I always pump right before kids get up. At night when they all go to sleep and try to get in a pump right at nap time or when they are all playing with each other. Is hard but you got this love
You are amazing mama! Try removing milk every 2-3 hours. I mostly nursed as if made it easier for me. When pumping I tried to stay on 2-3 hour schedule. Doing fridge method definitely helps. And using wearables so you can still help your children.
